Wisconsin January 2014 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for January of 2014. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

The harsh winter took a toll on January home sales in Wisconsin, according to the most recent analysis of housing market activity released by the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA). Existing home sales were down 6.8 percent relative to January 2013, but median prices rose 3.2 percent to $126,900 over that same time frame.

“Home sales cooled along with the weather in January,” said Steve Lane, chairman of the WRA board of directors. “REALTORS® know that buyers and sellers don’t like closing on homes during winter months, preferring instead to move when the weather improves,” Lane said. “This winter has been anything but typical, with brutally cold weather and plenty of snow contributing to the decline in January sales,” Lane said.

Below are the number of Home Sales and Median House Prices for the state of Wisconsin, Rock County, and Dane County. These stats include Janesville and Madison. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions pertaining to these figures. As you probably have heard, home sales & prices have been increasing over the past few years. This month however home sales number decreased, but take a look at the price increase! The price rebound in our region is certainly still under way. Rock County was up 11% year over year in January!

Wisconsin December 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for December of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

2013 was a robust year for Wisconsin’s housing market, with both sales and prices increasing by solid margins, according to the year-end housing report released by the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA). Existing home sales were up 10.8 percent compared to 2012, and median prices increased 7.2 percent to $143,000 over that same time frame.

“Strong sales dominated 2013, which is remarkable given that this is compared to 2012, which was also a very good year for the housing market,” said Steve Lane, chairman of the WRA board of directors. According to Lane, existing home sales were up in every region of the state in 2013 relative to the previous year.

Lane noted housing sales were strong despite raising interest rates and prices. “Mortgage rates have increased a full percentage point since January, and median prices have grown consistently throughout the year,” Lane said. “Yet the entire state posted genuine gains in 2013, a trend we hope and believe will continue into the new year,” Lane said.

Below are the number of Home Sales and Median House Prices for the state of Wisconsin, Rock County, and Dane County. These stats include Janesville and Madison. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions pertaining to these figures. As you probably have heard, home sales & prices have been increasing over the past few years.

Wisconsin November 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for November of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Wisconsin home sales fell 6 percent in November 2013 when compared to November 2012, although total sales for the year remain ahead of 2012. Comparing the first 11 months, home sales were up 11.1 percent in 2013 over 2012. Prices were also higher in November, rising 4.7 percent above the same month last year, to a statewide median of $136,000.

“Over the last two months, the housing market has definitely cooled from the red-hot pace that characterized the first three quarters of 2013.” said Steve Lane, chairman of the WRA board of directors. “This was bound to happen since the base of comparison is 2012, and that was a very strong year for home sales.” he said.

Lane pointed to markedly higher mortgage rates, steady upward movement in prices over the last year and a half, and heightened uncertainty of federal fiscal and health care policies as potential factors for the cool down..

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions pertaining to these figures. As you probably have heard, home sales & prices have been increasing over the past few years.

Wisconsin October 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for October of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Wisconsin’s red-hot real estate market cooled in October, with sales of existing homes nearly identical to October of last year, according to the most recent housing report issued by the Wisconsin Realtors® Association. October sales were just 0.1 percent lower than last October, representing the first time since July of 2011 that monthly sales did not increase over the previous year. The median sales price however continued to rise, increasing 5.6 percent to $142,500 in October relative to October 2012. On a year-to-date basis, median prices increased 7.5 percent compared to the first 10 months of 2012.

“While somewhat surprising, these numbers are not totally unexpected,” said Steve Lane, chairman of the WRA board of directors. “We are comparing sales between two very strong years and two very healthy markets,” he said.

Sales softened in all regions of the state. The strongest regional growth was in the South central region, where sales were up 3.9 percent.

Below are the number of Home Sales and Median House Prices for the state of Wisconsin, Rock County, and Dane County. These stats include Janesville and Madison.

Wisconsin September 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for September of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Wisconsin home sales were very strong in September, continuing the robust pace that has characterized the year. Sales of existing homes were up 15.8 percent in September compared to that same month in 2012 — representing a 13.6 percent increase through the first nine months of the year. Median prices posted similar gains, increasing a very solid 6.7 percent in September relative to September 2012 — an increase of 7.8 percent year to date compared to the first nine months of 2012. Home sales have now been up for 27 straight months and median prices have consistently grown in all but one of the past 19 months.

“As we move out of the summer selling season, this growth in home sales is remarkably strong and shows signs of growing even stronger,” said Steve Lane, chairman of the WRA board of directors. “We need to remember that this growth in home sales is occurring even as mortgage rates are up by almost a full percent compared to where they were this time last year, and state job growth has been modest at best,” he said.

All regions saw their existing home sales grow by double-digit margins in September, compared to September 2012, with three regions increasing more than 19 percent, and the remaining three in the range of 11 to 15 percent. The areas with the strongest growth in September were the Central region, which was up 21.7 percent relative to last September, followed closely by the North and South central regions, which grew just over 19 percent for the period. The West region increased 14.9 percent; the Southeast grew at 14 percent, and the Northeast region increased 11.5 percent over the period.

Home sales and median prices both grew at a healthy pace in August, continuing the hot real estate market in Wisconsin.

Home prices showed similar strength with the median price rising 6.3 percent to $152,000 in August. Median prices have been up 17 of the last 18 months.

“This has been a very strong summer for home sales, which is important for a state like Wisconsin where there are strong seasonal sales patterns,” said Steve Lane, broker with First Weber Group REALTORS® in Stevens Point and the new Chairman of the WRA board of directors. "We started the year strong, and we’ve carried that momentum through the summer, which bodes well for the remainder of the year,” Lane said.

Existing home sales were up in every region of the state, with five of the six regions growing by 9.9 percent in August compared to August 2012. The area with the fastest growth over August 2012 was the Central region, which was up 23.2 percent.

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for July of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Wisconsin home sales and prices both grew in July, outpacing the solid rate established for the first half of 2013. Sales of existing homes for July increased 17.3 percent over July of 2012, which is stronger than the 11.4 percent rate of growth established in the first six months of this year over the first half of last year. Home prices also continued their strong rate of appreciation, increasing 9.0 percent in July over last July, to a statewide median of $155,299. Prices for the first six months of the year were up 7.7 percent.

“It’s clear that 2013 is shaping up to be a very strong year for Wisconsin housing and the indications are that these trends will continue,” said Renny Diedrich, chairman of the WRA board of directors. "We’re at the peak of the Wisconsin home selling season, with nearly 43 percent of all sales taking place between May and August in a typical year,” Diedrich said.

“This is very strong median price appreciation and it’s consistent with national trends,” said WRA President and CEO Michael Theo. Theo said statistics from the National Association of REALTORS® show that the median sales price of single-family homes nationally increased 12.2 percent in the second quarter compared to the second quarter of 2012, which represents the strongest year-over-year increase since the fourth quarter of 2005.

Wisconsin June 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for June of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Wisconsin home sales rose an impressive 11.4 percent in the first six months of 2013 compared to last year, according to recent statistics compiled by the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA). In June alone, Wisconsin home sales were up 3.1 percent relative to last June, posting the 24th straight month of positive sales growth in the state. Median prices also continued to increase year-to-date, rising 7.7 percent to $140,000 compared to the first half of 2012. In June, prices were up 12.3 percent to $159,500 compared to June 2012.

“The pace of sales in the first half of this year is well ahead of last year,” said Renny Diedrich, chairman of the WRA board of directors. "which is especially noteworthy since 2012 was an exceptional post-recession year for housing sales.” Diedrich said.

Adding to the good news was a significant drop in foreclosures during the first half of 2013. Unique foreclosures in the state are down 37.2 in the first half of 2013 compared to that same period in 2012, and down 44.5 in the second quarter this year compared to quarter two of 2012. “All in all, this paints a very healthy picture of the Wisconsin residential home market at the midyear point,” Diedrich said.

“We’ve seen very strong growth in housing prices since they started improving 16 months ago,” said WRA President and CEO Michael Theo. And while higher prices impact housing affordability, homes in Wisconsin remain a good value.

Wisconsin May 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for May of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Strong home sales in Wisconsin for May helped boost prices up, according to the most recent statistical report released by the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association (WRA). The sale of existing homes in May increased 18.2 percent over last May, now the 23rd straight month of positive sales growth in Wisconsin, which helped push the median price up 4.3 percent to a statewide median of $144,000.

“These are very positive signals and represent an uptick from the pace of sales established in the first four months of the year,” said Renny Diedrich, chairman of the WRA board of directors. Existing home sales rose 10.3 percent from January through April this year compared to that same four-month period in 2012. “There’s no doubt consumer demand has been strong over the last couple of years, but now we’re also seeing sellers jump back in the market as well,” Diedrich said.

“Prices showed solid but sustainable growth,” said Michael Theo, WRA President and CEO. "We saw some large increases in median prices in March and April, so it’s good to see more modest increases in May."

Wisconsin April 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for April of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Wisconsin existing home sales jumped 9.2 percent in April 2013 compared to April 2012, representing 22 straight months of positive sales growth in the state. Median prices climbed by a solid margin, growing 7.8 percent over the past year to $138,000, according to the most recent statistical report released by the Wisconsin REALTORS^® Association (WRA).

“This is a solid but sustainable pace of sales,” said Renny Diedrich, chairman of the WRA board of directors. This continues the modest growth established in the first quarter of the year nationally in which sales were up 9.8 percent, as well as for Wisconsin, where revised figures show that sales rose 11.7 percent compared to first quarter of 2012. “It looks like the first quarter trends are continuing into the prime selling period of the year, which is very encouraging,” Diedrich said, noting that in a typical year, about 60 percent of Wisconsin home sales take place between April and September.

Median prices increased 7.8 percent in April compared to April 2012, after rising 9.3 percent in March, again compared to the same month in 2012. “We’re seeing strong upward price pressure statewide and across all regions,” said Michael Theo, WRA President and CEO, who pointed to a number of factors on both the demand and supply sides of the market.

Wisconsin March 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for March of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

March marked the 20th straight month of double-digit growth in sales of existing homes in Wisconsin, with sales up 11.7 percent compared to March 2012. Median home prices also grew to $122,000 in March, which represents a solid 6.1 percent rate of growth compared to March last year.

“This is the highest sales volume we’ve seen in March since 2007, before the Great Recession began,”  said Renny Diedrich, chairman of the WRA board of directors. Noting that sales moderated somewhat from the double-digit growth rates of the past year and a half. “It’s inevitable that the torrid pace of sales will moderate since the base we’re comparing to is a much improved market. Our markets remain strong and growing.”

“Very low mortgage rates have certainly stimulated sales activity, and this combined with a decline in new listings has brought our unsold inventory levels down to just nine months of supply,” said WRA President and CEO, Michael Theo.  Inventory levels are down from 12.1 months a year ago, and from approximately 18 months of unsold homes in July 2011.

Below are the number of Home Sales and Median House Prices for the state of Wisconsin, Rock County, and Dane County. These stats include Janesville and Madison. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions pertaining to these figures. As you probably have heard, home sales & prices have been increasing over the past couple of years. Both Dane and Rock counties are showing marked improvements in the number of homes sold and the price at which they are being sold at. Dane County really showed an improvement in both home sales numbers and median home price this month over last year.

Wisconsin January 2013 Housing Statistics

The Wisconsin housing statistics are in for January of 2013. Here is an excerpt from what the Wisconsin Realtors® Association (WRA) had to say:

Although January is typically a slow month for home sales in Wisconsin, the 19-month trend of double-digit growth continued last month as existing homes sales grew 18.3 percent compared to January 2012. In addition, median home prices also increased 3.4 percent to $123,000 over that same period.

“To see existing home sales continue the strong pace established in 2012 bodes well for the spring when the market heats up”  said Renny Diedrich, chairman of the WRA board of directors. She noted that January usually accounts for just under 5 percent of the annual sales of existing homes in the state.

“We have seen fairly consistent upward movements in median prices since last spring, and that trend continues as we move into 2013,” said WRA President and CEO, Michael Theo.
